2011 Map of Yemassee

About this map

The Combahee River and Pocotaligo River define the Lowcountry landscape of this 2011 survey, where the historic rail and road hub of Yemassee serves as a central junction. The map detail highlights the settlement patterns of Hampton County, showing concentrated town blocks in Blountville and the nearby Yemassee Post Office while larger rural tracts such as Brewton and Rose Hill occupy the southern reaches. Local history is preserved in the location of the Salkehatchie Cemetery and the crossing at Saltketcher Bridge, bridging the gap between the small hamlets of Jonesville and Salkehatchie. Evidence of the area's rail-dependent commerce persists at Blake Siding, while the road network including McPhersonville Rd and Old Salkehatchie Hwy connects these disparate communities across the river plains.
